The place is super charming and clean. The owner is very friendly and helpful. The property is big and with different buildings so you always feel that you have some privacy. They also have cabins which are great if you bring your dog!

Very nice hostel and location with boardwalk and seating by the waterfront in the fishing village Stamsund

Wheather was unfortunally very raining and windy. The rooms were could. Only one toilet.

10/10 Exceptional

Stamsund hostel was the highlight of my trip to Lofoten. This is a truly unique place on like no other (place on earth). You are taken back to an era of true charming Norwegian culture, hygge and conviviality. I say this as a Norwegian having moved abroad. The atmosphere lures of serendipitous discussions with friendly travelers, of all ages and from around the world. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery in a historic building dating back to 1930. No matter the weather conditions, the place and the people keep on giving. You have free access to rowing boats, stand up paddling, fishing gear, bicycles and more. No hassle, just let them know, and off you go. You can also book private free diving (with or without spear fishing), or book the Sauna for the most affordable prices in Lofoten. If it rains, you have a plethora of interesting books, board games, high speed internet (intentionally only in one of the common rooms) and will find yourself cooking and meeting new people (if you want). This place actually originated as a place for fishermen to seek refuge during bad weather, so they are prepared (more than me with my leaky tent). The people working and volunteering at Stamsund are diverse, interesting and extremely helpful. Matias and his partner that owns and run this hidden gem are of the highest caliber and extremely well travelled. I would definitely recommend to check out their instagram account: @stamsundhostel or other platforms where they share interesting content

Vackert och mysigt ställe.

Det låg fantastiskt vackert. Fanns en bastutunna vedeldad. Skönt att kunna basta och bada i havet ftån bryggan. Trvligt område och att dela kök med framsmän och Danskar. Nära till bussen. Mycket nöjd

Tourisme et politique

Abordable, sympathique mais il faudrait que l'auberge évite d'afficher ses convictions politiques et sexuelles. Ce n'est pas bien méchant mais c'est inutile.

Sjarmerende og idyllisk overnattingsted

Hit vil jeg tilbake! Supert sted. Backpacking-stil med mye sjarm. Vi fikk et lite rom og det var derfor ikke et alternativ å bruke noe av tiden vår der annet enn til å sove, men stedet hadde koselig felles stue og spiserom og flere grupper utendørs. Dette var derfor ikke noe problem.

Rummet var väldigt litet och man fick klättra över varandra för att komma fram. Luktade inte fräscht. Fint att sitta på bryggan men vi hade mest regnväder de nätter vi sov där. Trevlig personal.
